I know this is somewhat off topic, but it doesn't sound much like DLI, because most people at DLI had never studied a language before, and are only there for their one language. Don't idealize it that way, because its goals are something else. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

The Expolingua Berlin is a
lot more commercial than a language festival, there are lots of language schools, study abroad programs, language course creators etc. presenting themselves. However, it's also possible to participate in mini language courses similar to those of a language festival (except for half of them having a commercial slant) or lectures on various topics related to language-learning. The Language Festival in Cheboksary. Right now the "Take Part" page hasn't been translated to English yet, but you can read it in Russian, Chuvash or Esperanto. Same for the "Program" page. Basically, they will organize an "international caravan" of foreigners presenting their languages in various schools of the area from October 14th through the 22nd, then the actual language festival is on the weekend of the 23rd/24th of October. There are 3 language presentation sessions on the 23rd, followed by a theatre play, and 4 on the 24th, followed by a concert. What's particularly nice about this language festival compared to others is that each language gets a separate room at the Cheboksary University of Pedagogy, so that you can go there and speak the language or participate in informal presentations even outside the regular sessions. Also, this festival is well-organized because they've been organizing it every year since 1996; there is no other language festival team with even close to that much experience. During last year's festival in Cheboksary, the following languages were presented: English, Old Russian, Arabic, Armenian, Azeri, Belorussian, Chinese, Chuvash, Dida (a language of 200,000 people from Côte d'Ivoire), Esperanto, Finnish, French, German, Hebrew, Hindi, Spanish, Italian, Japanese, Georgian, Catalan, Lingala, Latin, Lithuanian, Mari, Nepalese, Norwegian, Ossetian, Polish, Runa??, Swahili, Tartar, Turkish, Ukrainian and Vietnamese.

Well, I meant it as the DLI because people only go there to study languages. In the same sense such a place as the OP suggested would be somewhere were people could totally be immersed in languages. I see what you mean, though. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

If you might be interested in meeting polyglots at the IJK, you can get a subsidy of up
to 80% of your expenses, including travel costs! Application deadline is soon though. I may be ready write a reference letter. http://www.tejo.org/eo/p-ijk Edited by Sprachprofi on 06 April 2011 at 6:20pm 1 person has voted this message useful |
